Parking bays to be removed for new cycle route through Greenwich town centre
Briefly

Greenwich Council has proposed a new cycle lane in College Approach to connect two existing cycle routes and improve safety for cyclists. Currently, cyclists often navigate through busy pedestrian areas, which the council deems inadequate. This interim scheme will remain post-opening of a new low-traffic neighbourhood along Creek Road, which is set for construction in 2027. To implement these changes, the council plans to remove some parking bays and reconfigure existing public spaces to accommodate the cycle lane. A consultation period for local feedback is open until February 28.
Greenwich Council has proposed a new cycle lane in College Approach to connect existing routes, improving safe cycling and accommodating pedestrian traffic.
The new cycle route will integrate into the future low-traffic neighbourhood but will remain an essential option for cyclists seeking quieter streets.
Although the interim route will begin soon, the complete Creek Road cycleway is slated for construction in 2027 due to need for significant road network changes.
Greenwich Council is aiming to enhance cyclist safety and air quality, responding to the area's high vehicular congestion and pedestrian traffic.
